RN102 not powering on after power failure

Hi,

 

I am running V6.6.1.

 

I noticed that the last few times there was a power failure, that the NAS didn't restart by itself.

 

NAS is always left On.

 

I can't remember if it used to restart, as I have not had any power failures for a while.

 

The NAS is connected to a UPS, but the UPS was the source of the power failures. Actually, I was the source, but the UPS suffered for it.

 

I tried setting a Power Schedule, all to On, but that will only save if if there is at least 1 Off, which I don't want to have.

 

I guess the other option is to use a WOL from another device, but that would be a last resort, as I would prefer it to power On automatically.

 

I can't find any settings that controls the Auto On function.

 

UPS problem *should* not occur again, but "failure is always an option"!

 

I search through about 20 pages of past threads. Only thing I found is that it should restore to previous state.

 

Thanks,

 

dRdoS7.

    If the NAS was off when the power was cut to the NAS it will stay off when power is restored. That's what last state means.

      Hi,

       

      I understand what is supposed to occur, and it doesn't.

       

      It was On when the power went Off, and when the power was returned, it stayed Off.

        Was it safely shutdown due to UPS monitoring?
